HOOK-FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 21, 1909.

Application filed December 12, 1908. Serial No. 467,269.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VIRGIL E. Morass, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shelton, in the county of F airfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in IIook-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the numerals of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1 a plan view of a hook fastener constructed in accordance with my invention and shown as attached to a garment. Fig. 2 a sectional view showing a hook attached to one part of a garment and engaged with an eye on another part. Fig. 3 a perspective view of the hook detached.

This invention relates to an improvement in hook fasteners.

As is well known the use of hooks and eyes on garments to be laundered is very common, but in laundering the garments the hooks become bent and rusted.

The object of this invention is to construct the hooks and eyes so that the hooks may be readily removed from the garment; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying out my invention as herein shown, I employ a hook 2 which may be formed in a variety of ways, but will comprise a longitudinal body 2, a short hook 3 and a bill l. The body may have a hump 5 as shown, if desired. The hooks are attached to a garment by means of two so called invisible eyes 6 and 7 each comprising a bar and two securing loops. These eyes 6, 7, are secured to the garment and the hook passed beneath both so that one will cross the hook beneath the bill and the other be engaged by the short hook 3. The bill may be hooked into an eye 8 on another part of the garment in the usual manner. These hooks when engaged with their eyes are firmly secured to the garment as in the usual construction of books, but may be readily removed when desired.

I claim The herein described hook fastener, the hook member comprising a body flat on the underside with a short hook at one end, and a hook bill at the other end, two eyes beneath which the hook members may be passed whereby the opposite ends of the hook will be held in place, and an eye with which the bill may engage.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
